Most Helpful Guy

I know, it was just a funny HIMYM reference. being on the hook is the same as someone keeping you on the fence, or saving you for later, a scapegoat, the last resort, my safeline. you can choose 1 or make up your own expression.

well you would have a better idea since you know him better, but its really a hit or miss, although it does seem to fall under your opinion because yeah, why add "now" unless that's just the way he talks and you know it.

We'll then currently I asked him to hang out for the weekend and he said he will be out of town but maybe sometime later that week. He responded almost immediately within 15 minutes. Then on Friday I texted him again because I haven't heard anything and he hasn't replied.

Oh but you did, first you made the decision not to just be a backup plan, so there's that and then by making that decision you finally broke free of the false hope you held and decided that you're worth more than this. All I did was just type a sentence.

2 months. Now I wonder why he even said the word "now". If it's any consolation, I had a friend who broke up with her boyfriend for a year and they got back after that. It's a long wait, yes, considering there's a possibility of it not happening or a break up sometime in the future. "Now" sounds a lot better than telling you not to wait for you guys to get back together again. Probably he is being nice. How about you text him, ask how he is, and ask what's his thoughts towards the both of you

The thing is, you're always there for him, doing the things that you guys will do in a relationship. That also mean that it doesn't really matter if you guys are in a relationship or not since he gets to do the things with you with or without being in a relationship with you. You should try distancing yourself, don't make yourself readily available all the time. It's time to think about yourself instead of putting him first all the time. If he's true to you, he'll put in more efforts and not make you wait. The sad truth is, only time will tell a person's heart.

I know the hardest thing to do when you love someone is to stay away from them. But the sad truth is, most of us do not realize what we've got until we've lost it, but then again, it's not a guarantee that we'll go running for it. Observe him closely, does he have another female who he hangs out with etc. For a guy to be acting this way, he might be not interested in you anymore.

What if he's just trying to keep you around simply bc he needs a companion? Guys confuse me too, they can say one thing and do another. Gets terribly frustrating. You should really occupy yourself and get busy so you won't have time to think about him. Even if you think about him, resist the urge to talk to him or even care about him. If he truly cares about you/ need you, someday he'll come looking for you by himself.
